Biography

Susan, a self-proclaimed "mish mash of continents," boasts a rich cultural heritage. Her mother hails from Ireland in Europe, while her father originates from Cameroon in West Africa. This unique blend of international influences was further shaped by her early education in the French system, followed by her high school and further studies at the prestigious Conservatory of Music and Drama in Dublin.

In 2007, Susan's exceptional talent earned her a spot as one of the top ten participants on the critically acclaimed Irish documentary series "Hollywood Trials." Selected by renowned audition coach Margie Haber, award-winning director Declan Lowney, and casting director Ros Hubbard, Susan's impressive performance caught the attention of the industry's top professionals. Following the series, she was signed to the esteemed management company Vincent Cirrincione Associates, representing A-listers such as Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez, and Taraji P. Henson.

Susan has demonstrated her versatility through her numerous screen roles, including "In Bruges" by Martin McDonagh, "Following Footsteps," "50k and a Call Girl" directed by Seth Grossman, and "Inner Demons." Her television work includes the BBC's "Holby City," RTE's award-winning "The Clinic," in which she starred alongside Aidan Turner, and the popular Irish TV series "Fair City," where she played the role of Kim, the lap dancer-with-a-conscience who led detectives to the first illegal brothel in the soap. On stage, she has performed in numerous plays, including the acclaimed "Plays in the Park" alongside Ed Asner, Mark Rydell, George Segal, and Beege Barkette at the Santa Monica Playhouse.

In 2012, Susan made her mark as a writer and actress in her first short film, "Closer Apart," produced and edited by Pitof, screened at various film festivals, including the Los Angeles New Wave International Film Festival and the Women's Independent Film Festival. Susan is currently in post-production with her second short film, co-produced with Dollkiller Films.
